Introduction - ADDER AdderLink Infinity User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing AdderLink Infinity. AdderLink
Infinity represents a major advance in the capabilities of
digital extenders and switches. By encoding high quality
DVI video, digital audio and USB connections into Internet
Protocol (IP) messages, AdderLink Infinity offers highly
advanced and flexible signal switching capabilities.
Adder's extensive knowledge of interfacing techniques
and high speed networking has allowed us to develop
new ways to break the chains of local DVI, USB and audio
connections. With AdderLink Infinity, distance is finally no
barrier to high specification, high performance computing.
Furthermore, since all signals are now IP, the most elaborate
and yet simple-to-use switching and multicast techniques
make possible a great variety of uses.
The AdderLink Infinity units come in two forms: a TX
transmitter and an RX receiver. The former attaches to
a single computer; the latter to your DVI video monitor,
microphone, speakers and up to four USB peripherals. The
distance between them is limited only by the size of your
Gigabit Ethernet network.
In addition to separating one computer and its peripherals,
AdderLink Infinity promotes sharing. You can arrange for
a limitless number of screens and speakers, distributed
anywhere across the network, to receive video and audio.
You can also switch between any number of transmitter
units from a single screen, keyboard and mouse in order to
monitor a potentially vast collection of remote systems.
All units feature browser-based configuration utilities to
allow quick and easy set up, from near or far.
One-to-one configuration
The simplest configuration links one RX unit to a single TX unit, either by a direct
link (up to 100m) or over much greater distances via a Gigabit Ethernet network.
INFINITY TX
One-to-many configuration (also known as True Share)
Using multicast techniques, an unlimited number of receivers* can
receive video and audio data streams from a single TX unit.
INFINITY TX
* A maximum of twelve concurrent USB inputs (via
multiple RX units) are permitted to a single TX unit.
Many-to-one (and many-to-many) configuration
Each RX unit can switch between different TX units. Multiple instances of
one-to-many configurations produce a highly flexible many-to-many installation.
